Roland Garros - Day 7, Saturday May 30 - Order of Play

And there goes the set. Will Vika rebound after that botched call?

 

[tossip]

with Serena you have to beat her and Azarenka blinked in that 2nd set

 

[kskate2]

Were they booing Serena or Nooni?

 

[sk310]

Vika lets these situations get to her too much. She got pissed off in Madrid when a ball got called out that looked in and lost her focus and it was all over within a few second.

 

[Front242]

Only one thing for it, Azarenka should do a Nadal and ask for Kader Nouni to be banned from umpiring her matches

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

If they have to come back and finish tomorrow, then who do we give the advantage to?

 

[tossip]

hopefully Serena is confident in the third set...the tennis people on my tv are suddenly muted....lol

 

[Riotbeard]

That was an awful call. Umps have to hate TV replay...

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena responding poorly so far from taking the second set

 

[sk310]

Surprised to see Serena not ride that momentum. She would usually use that kind of turn of momentum to her favor.

 

[tented]

I'm going with Serena. It will give her time to rest, gather her thoughts, talk to Patrick, etc.

 

[kskate2]

Did Serena tell Nooni to give her point?

 

[kskate2]

Vika starts well 2-0

 

[sk310]

Yeah agreed... I would say if Serena is having an off day on serve and has a chance to reset that then she would come back refreshed and end it quickly.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I know one thing Serena better hold here. Throw some body serves at Azarenka.

 

[tossip]

they glared at each other...drama

Tennis loves its traditions, but the clay tournaments need to realize it's the 21st century, and there is technology to settle these line calls accurately. Even with the mark the ball leaves, we've all seen examples of umps and line judges getting it wrong.

Totally... It's kind of surprising they haven't had more pressure to use hawk eye.

 

[sk310]

At what time would they call the match for the day? 9?

But in this case, he called the ball good, but said Serena had a play so they should replay it. Even w/ Hawkeye, replaying of the point is at the discretion of the ump
